<p>Indian, although i dont think of myself as "asian" but i guess it works...i'm surprised there are only 4 desi's who have replied to this thread...but you only need to take a peek at the desi thread to know we're here.. lol</p>
<p>So that's what desi means...I just learned something new. What's the etymology of that word, btw?</p>
<p>i always wondered that too. Btw, who else has the American Desi channel at home? cuz i just found out that couple days ago.</p>
<p>oh yea, i realized my last post might have sounded harsh. right? forgive me. there was 0% offence intended.</p>
<p>desi comes from "desh" which means motherland/homeland...so basically anyone from India/Pakistan/Bangladesh...but its used mostly for Indians</p>
<p>Pure Cantonese.....from Hong Kong.....oooo yea baby!!!</p>
<p>I'm mostly filipino, 1/4 chinese, some spanish mixed in, and a trace of Japanese from my mom's side. But I mostly just look Filipino/Chinese. ^^;;</p>
